When I first saw Ann’s listing I knew it was right for us. We are traveling for 6 weeks with our 1 year old and 3 year old sons and we wanted to arrive in a place that was quiet and interesting for our kids. Ann wrote us an honest message to tell us that we should consider that she has two dogs and a cat which might be a problem for us since we have little ones. Quit the opposite. The animals became like familiar friends in big , loud Bangkok. Arriving was exciting and overwhelming and instead of being forced to hangout in the loud streets of Bangkok , we could retreat to Ann‘s oasis of a garden and admire the lovingly groomed garden and wave at the passing longtail boats in the canal behind the house.
When I left I mused on our stay and felt a bit liked I’d stepped out of a movie. They were simply brilliant! Stay at Ann’s for an unique Bangkok experience. It’s a little out of the way but with a short walk you reach the ferry across the river to the Flower Market where you can buy fruits and veg or enjoy some Local food for 40 Baht
From the flower market It’s about a five min walk to the first of many temples and other interesting sites. A boat tour on the river is also possible. We spent time in a local park and felt like we were seeing another side of the city beyond shopping and bars.
